Portugal, traditional producer of sisal ropes and cables since the 15th century, has not lost its leadership in this field, but has only adapted to the inevitable gradual replacement of sisal by synthetics. And we, Adiscolor, are proud to have contributed in a decisive and very effective way with the supply of new products, of enormous quality, but requiring a lot of technical and logistic support.
